i just got my new knock sensor i was wondering if u guys have a good write up on how to change them easyier

 

I dont think there is an easy way to change it. When I changed mine I tried using a bunch of socket extentions and elbows but I couldnt break it loose. I ended up having to take off the intake manifold and fuel rails. It was a *****. Watch out for the gasket on the back of the mainfold where the emisions thing is bolted to it, it gets dented easily.

Follow his instructions and you should be fine. Just make sure to buy the exact tools he mentions on his site(if you do not already have them), as they will make life easier on you and your hands.

 

Good lighting helped. I used a high power flashlight. Changed it this weekend. My car isn't lagging any more.

 

thanks for all the help i put it in and it pulls hard

Skippynet mentioned the use of a magnetic stick. My bro-outlaw used a plumbs fish (push the rod, the three jaws open) cause his 4runner KS is in an equally bad location. You can turn the bolt some with this. Hope this helps

 

He already put it on. This just proves that majority of the people don't actually read the entire thread before they decide to add to it.

 

He didn't say which was he used to change it, therefore anyway could be the easier way.

 

???But he already put it on. Does it matter which way he used? He got it done and that's what matters.
